Advantages: cheaper and superior media, portablility is better, sound quality is superb

Disadvantages: records in realtime unless u have NetMD

after readings these reviews about MP3 being better, i felt i had to step in and voice my opinion (which is my first). ill state the facts:

MiniDisc
Cost - £100 - 240 youll get a decent redorder and player for about £150
Cost of media - £1 or less for a disc that can hold up to 320 minutes of music on using LP4 mode. thats about 5 albums on one disc - 6 if ure lucky. ill also note that their is no loss of sound quality if u use the optical cable.

MP3
Cost - £60 - 200
Cost of media - youll pay about £30 for a 64MB memory stick which can hold an album on

now im not being biased towards MD, i just know more about it than MP3.

i find MD much more portable as u can record from nearly every digital source including portable CD's and pc's which means u can put your mp3's on minidisc.
